Lift needed to run 265/75/16 Tires?

Hard to say. If you are sticking with stock rims, you may feel a minor lack of power but given that it's a small increase in tire size, it shouldn't be much of a change. I did notice it with my 285/75/16s, but that's a much more drastic tire size change

 

It's the wheel offset. Everyone on this thread who said you need a lift for 265/75r16's has aftermarket wheels in their profile photo. Most aftermarket wheels have less offset than OEM wheels, so the tires stick out past the fenders. Then they contact the fender lip or pinch weld instead of tucking into the wheel well the way the good lord intended.

 

I don't look too much at offset, I look at backspacing when choosing a wheel. You have to push it out a little with less backspacing so you don't rub the frame. Yes, at that point you do have to beat down the pinch weld and trim the bumper, but who said 33s were going to come without a price?

 

But of course. I was thinking "backspacing" but typed "offset" due to the influence of adult beverages. You're correct @FirstTimeFirstGen.

 

I have a basically stock 95.5 with a 2.7 running 30-9.5-15 and I'm looking at 265/75/16's on stick rims. Will I run into any problems with this swap?

 

@odiesplace I ran 265/75/26s on stock rims & suspension for a long time. Slight frame rub at full lock, but nothing I was worried about. I do have a 2" lift now, but that was because the stock suspension needed to be replaced.

 

Cool thanks I'm in the process of updating mine, the front springs are shot
